As a fresh owner I have a few questions:
1 - The lower right corner of the front panel wobbles (?), moves slightly on touch, I can press it for about 1mm (see the attached screen). It is especially annoying when pressing OK or dial off (or whatever the button is called). Is it normal?
2 - The screen has a slight green tone (hue), can anything be done with it?
3 - LCD has noticeable light leaking near the bottom side, again, is it normal? (Well, the screen does not work now anyway, gotta flash the phone.)
Thanks

(1) I have no issues with this, seams fine on mine
(2) I cannot notice any hue, maybe you have a faulty unit given the blue colour and the movement of the panel.
(3) Yes LCD light is noticible, I also get leaks through the optical pad when I have the notification LED's on
1. I got some small loose on the front pannel upper area, it's especially felt when You hold the phone in one hand and work with Your thumb pressing the screen or just put the phone to You ear. You feel then the pannel moves a bit down. Maybe thats normal or just the build quality is not so good at all.
sounds like you have a faulty one. mine is solid as a rock. the loose screen and the green hue could be related. there shouldnt be any discolouration at all and i can only see it getting worse to be honest. where did you get it? if its somewhere reputable then id take it back and ask for a decent one while its still in warranty.
i do have tiny bit of light leakage near the buttons, that does seem common.
Mine is well made too, no hardware problems.
I have a silver one, solid as a rock, light leaks are present though...
There's a backlight leak on the left side of the LCD on my X2, from top to bottom. Seems like the display is not properly align or the edges of the casing loosens.
Had anyone of you have the same problem?
You're feedbacks please. So we may know if this is a common problem on X2's.
Thank you
i wonder if anyone else seems to see what i am. with the screen off angle the screen to reflect white light. you get a kind of rainbow pattern. this afaik is fairly normal. but i notice on the top edge of the screen the rainbowing seems to compress. im assuming this is because the mesh within the screen is crimped within a frame. what im noticing on mine is on the top left hand corner theres a tiny oval blob of the rainbowing as if the layers are seperating underneath the glass
is anyone else seeing it in the same spot or just me
bumpiiddy?
anyone else
Hey, so I was just wondering, does anyone else have a small blue/red light visible on their screen over dark backgrounds? I'm not sure when it could've happened, but apparently too much pressure was applied and now my screen is slightly damaged. Depending on the angle I look at it, the light is either red or blue.
Is there any fix to this? Will replacing the screen work, or will I need to start saving up for a replacement device? I'm not entirely averse to doing that; the magnetic lock/wake sensor is on the wrong side of the phone, the bottom speaker grille is loose, and now this issue is present (I probably caused this one, but still). I just thought this phone would last a couple more years tbh.
Hello,
After I received the latest update which enabled more options like gamma in display settings I've noticed while browsing that on a full screen white background the edges tends to drop somehow a gray shadow.
While I think this is kind of normal because of the edge curvature, looking straight in the center of the phone, the right shadow is somehow more pronounced than the left one.
If I move the phone a bit to the left or turn it few degrees to the left, the right shadow disappears while the left is starting to be pronounced.
Also when I look at the phone horizontal, with the usb connector on the right side, the bottom edge doesn't exhibit any pronounced shadow while the top can be seen. The top shadow is the previously right one.
If I turn it with the usb connector on the left, the bottom shadow is visible while is also the top one. Previously the bottom was not visible.
I was thinking maybe this is how the crystals are aligned like in a tn screen when looking from bellow the center screen the top starts to get darken, but from left to right not top to bottom on s8 plus.
I know it's not a tn screen but still, maybe this technology has a small drawback.
I went in 2 retail shops to check their displayed testing phones.
One of them had a smaller gray shadow on the right side than mine, but had a very faded red shadow on the left side. While the other seemed somehow equal on shadows, I couldn't figure it out better because of the blue neon lights in the store. The best can be seen at home during the night or in moderate day light. Anyway when I put my hands around the screen it seemed to have a bit more shadow on right side but less than mine, but no faded red on left side. Also I noticed that the white was different on all 3 of them, but this is not an issue.
Did someone else can also test this shadow behaviour if it is more pronounced on the right than on the left side and also if it's not visible at the bottom with the usb port at the right while is visible top and bottom with the usb connector on the left ?
Thanks
